A Day In The Life of Max Poglia

Max Poglia is living proof that an artist doesn’t need to be defined by a single label. Whether he’s creating brand designs and signage for restaurants like Buvette and Bedford Post Inn or designing and producing his own line of leather bags, hand-forged knives and blankets, Max is always working on something beautiful. I first came in contact with his work when Julia introduced me to Buvette. She was working on the cookbook and Max was responsible for so much of the lettering, signage and branding that would go into the photography for the book. So I first became a fan of the graphic work he was creating for that special space. Then I discovered that he had legions of fans who followed him not just for his beautiful branding and photography, but for his incredible collection of handmade leather bags and a line of knives that seems to be every food stylist’s must-have for shoots these days. Clearly this Brazilian-born designer is just getting started, so I can’t wait to see what he’s working on next (a collaboration with Ouigi from Brooklyn Circus is in the works, too!). Today Max kindly offered to give us a peek inside his daily life, from walks in Central Park to packing off knives to be sold and setting up photo shoots for a new project. I hope you’ll enjoy this peek as much as I did. You can visit Max online here, on Instagram and check out his work online here. xo, grace
